Make Hay While …
Well, clearly, the sun is shining brightly on Apple right now, and many, many rules can be written and re-written to suit whatever the hell they feel like doing.
Meanwhile, here is a little post on a new chip by IBM that questions Apple’s decision to switch to Intel. I don’t think the decision is untimely at all. Apple had to take a step in the direction of the mainstream market, and pairing up with Intel is a good start.
Also, Microsoft is providing a kick in Symantec’s behind, (See my earlier analysis on the Security market), while it gets a kick from Google on its own, as it offers to pay PC Makers to include software like search, gmail, and chat at boot-time.
